Kickoff is at 1 p.m. The tailgate opens at 11 a.m.

Nickel was a first team All-American punter in 2009 averaging 42.6 yards per kick. Burns, a Butte native, led the nation in sacks in 2009 on his way to a first team All-American nod. A social at the Knights of Columbus for the Hall of Fame induction will follow the football game.
